Best Colors for a Monster Coloring Page
This depends on the monster and whether you’re creating a dark, scary, & realistic image, or a fun, light, & friendly monster. The color choices you make will set the mood!
If you like the classic look for scary monsters, dark colors like blacks, browns, grays and dark greens work really well.
If you’d like to create your own unique monster, use bright colors, so that they stand out. You could also get fancy and add stripes, polka dots, or even rainbow colors. Be sure to add in the traditional Halloween orange too!
Add Detail and Features to a Scary Monster Coloring Page
Why not add darker tones to your coloring sheet to add shadows for extra creepiness! You can add features like scars, fur, spikes, scales, and more to your monster to make him one of a kind.
Classic monsters like vampires or werewolves, tend to be dark colors - black suits for vampires, dark brown fur for werewolves. You can also add glowing eyes or some red “blood” around their fangs or hands/paws.
For aliens, why not add an extra eye, or three?! The only limit to your monster’s look is your own imagination!
